iCade 8-bitty Is An NES Controller For Your iThings

If you love things that you'll use for a week and then forget about but still be glad that you bought, look no further than iCade's line of impractical but awesome iOS device controllers. Their arcade cabinet is crazy enough; then there's this thing. And now?

The 8-bitty will be available some time later this year exclusively from ThinkGeek. It's compatible with the same games as all the other iCade accessories, including standouts like Super Mega Worm, Space Inversion, Silverfish, and Temple Run. And the SDK is open source, so any app developer can add compatibility.

Excited to add another physical controller to your stable of iOS add-ons? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter.
